Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)
Chapter 1336 The Preciousness Of Spirit Consciousness, Worth More Than Ten Billion

"Are you telling the truth?" Lilly looked at Ivan suspiciously. "Just by teaching a little something, can I earn so much money?"

He found it amusing. She had been unwilling to accept payment earlier, but now her face was excited.

He was a bit worried. Could she be so easily deceived?

He corrected her seriously. "This is not just a little something. Lilly, remember that spirit consciousness is crucial; it is as valuable as cultivation."

"A few days ago, I was chased by a black-robed man. He had incredible abilities, able to come and go freely on Mount Everest and hide and assassinate me. I had no choice but to use that teleportation talisman."

He paused momentarily and continued, "If I had spirit consciousness, then I would not have been ambushed by him. I might have even been able to counter-attack."

Although the black-robed men possess a powerful weapon, it is not impossible to fight back.

"So, cultivating spirit consciousness is like having an extra helper."

Having spirit consciousness might even enable me to instantly defeat opponents of higher levels. Especially if I have spirit consciousness and others don't, it will be like cheating.

"If others knew about spirit consciousness, they would be willing to learn it no matter the cost. Now, I'm just giving you a few Azurite gemstones. Do you understand?"

He earnestly taught, afraid that she didn't realize how extraordinary his spirit consciousness was and that it could be easily exchanged for a small price.

She nodded solemnly. "I understand. So, you're saying that this extracurricular tutoring for divine sense is expensive. Even ten billion is not enough to learn it!" He helplessly said, "Ten billion is too cheap."

She emphasized. "I'm talking about the quantity of Azurite gemstones!"

Ten billion Azurite gemstones is a massive amount of money. No matter how expensive the extracurricular tutoring is, it can't be that expensive!

But he shook his head and corrected her seriously again, "That's still far from enough."

She was shocked as she didn't expect her skill to be so valuable!

"Then how much is enough?" she asked.

He said, "At least ten billion immortality stones, and I mean at least!"

He tried to exaggerate. "Because immortality stones are not the most expensive. You said that cultivating spirit consciousness consumes a lot of spiritual energy. The Azurite gemstones and the Neon gemstones in the ring have been squandered, but the spirit consciousness hasn't made much progress."

Just mentioning this made her feel heartbroken again. "Yes!"

He continued, "But when you used the immortality stone, your spirit consciousness instantly cultivated to fifty meters. So, I guess that cultivating spirit consciousness doesn't require spiritual energy but something else."

She was taken aback and only then realized this blind spot.

At first, she only thought that spirit consciousness was a big consumer of spiritual energy. Still, she never considered the possibility that it might not consume spiritual energy, that it might have nothing to consume and could only reluctantly consume it.

That's why she spent so much "money," and the spirit consciousness only "recharged" to fifty meters.

"Ivan, what you said makes sense..." she pondered. "I never noticed it before. You're amazing!"

He was in an excellent mood after being praised.

He continued, "So there must be something specific to cultivate consciousness... no, there must be something specifically for spirit consciousness."

"In summary, a billion immortality stones are not the best thing. If you want to exchange with others, you must ask for what you need the most."

For example, if you urgently need spirit consciousness, you should exchange it for something that could cultivate spirit consciousness. The thing that cultivated spirit consciousness was not as valuable as ten billion immortality stones, but when you needed it, it was the most precious.

Lilly nodded. "I understand what you mean now! Thank you, Ivan!"

He smirked. "No need to thank me."

Little did he know that the next second, she asked very seriously, "So Ivan, you owe me ten billion immortality stones and an item that can cultivate spirit consciousness! Remember to give them back to me!" He felt speechless. Well, she's indeed quick to learn. There is no problem for her.

Seeing that he took it seriously, she laughed. "I was just kidding!"

She floated up and hooked her arm around his shoulder while saying, "We're such good friends; even if you don't give me money, I would still teach you about spirit consciousness. How could I ask you for money?"

He coughed and wondered where she learned to hook arms like that, making it seem like they were good brothers.

"What if someone else wants you to teach them?" he emphasized. "If another friend asks you to teach them, would you also not charge them?"

She immediately shook her head. "That depends on who it is."

Dad said that in this world, having a friend with whom you can genuinely connect is lucky enough. Those who can be called friends will risk their lives to save each other in times of danger, but they still can't be completely honest about their secrets. Ivan probably belongs to that level of close friends.

She always felt he was like her family; someone she could trust.

A hint of a smile appeared in Ivan his eyes as he nodded.

But soon, he emphasized, "I'm just worried that you might be deceived by your friends." That's why he asked her that question.
